Accessibility Statement
1. Commitment
The Operator is committed to ensuring that ezrarabin.com (the "Site") is accessible to all readers, including persons with disabilities, and treats accessibility as a design principle of the Site rather than an afterthought. This statement describes the measures taken, the standards met, and the procedure for reporting any difficulty, as of the date above; the commitment applies equally to all future versions of the Site, and this statement is reviewed whenever the Site materially changes.
2. Measures taken
- Fully semantic HTML: true headings, lists, landmarks, and time elements, enabling structural navigation by assistive technology.
- Maximum text contrast, far exceeding the WCAG AA minimum.
- Complete keyboard operability; no functionality requires a pointing device.
- No JavaScript required: every page and the subscription form function fully with scripts disabled.
- Freely resizable text, compatible with browser zoom to 400%, user style sheets, and reader modes; a single-column layout that reflows at any viewport size.
- Alternative text for images and descriptive link names throughout.
- No motion, animation, autoplaying media, flashing, or time-limited content anywhere on the Site.
3. Conformance status
To the best of the Operator's knowledge, the Site is fully conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. The Site's architecture (static HTML with no dynamic behavior) eliminates the majority of accessibility failure modes by construction.
4. Standards around the world
WCAG is the technical benchmark on which accessibility regulation worldwide is built; conformance at Level AA therefore aligns the Site with the technical requirements referenced by, among others:
- United States: the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508, whose guidance follows WCAG at Level AA.
- European Union: EN 301 549 and the European Accessibility Act, which incorporate WCAG at Level AA.
- United Kingdom: the Equality Act 2010, applied in practice through WCAG conformance.
- Canada and Australia: national accessibility frameworks whose technical guidance is WCAG-based.
- Israel: Standard 5568, which adopts WCAG at Level AA.
5. Compatibility
The Site is designed to work with all modern browsers, screen readers (including VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS, and TalkBack), browser zoom, user style sheets, reader modes, and text-only browsers, on any screen size and orientation.
6. Assessment methodology
Conformance is verified through automated auditing (Google Lighthouse accessibility audits, most recently scoring 100/100 on both mobile and desktop) combined with manual review of every page template. This statement is reviewed and updated whenever the Site's design or structure changes.
7. Applicability
The Site is the personal, non-commercial publication of a private individual. It sells nothing, provides no services, requires no registration, and collects nothing beyond an optional email subscription. It is made accessible as a matter of principle, above and beyond any legal obligation applicable to a personal publication of this nature.
8. Known limitations
None currently known. Should any individual post ever embed third-party content whose accessibility the Operator does not control, this section will be updated accordingly.
9. Feedback and remediation procedure
If any part of the Site is difficult to use with assistive technology, report it via message me on X or LinkedIn. Reports are handled in good faith, prioritized above all other Site work, and addressed promptly. This channel constitutes the Site's formal accessibility-feedback mechanism.
